  1. Demonstration B5 Step-up and step-down transformers

  2. Task 1 What is inside the transformer units? The step-up transformer unit has a transparent box so that you can see what is inside it. The transformer has a block of laminated iron sheets (which can be seen) and an input coil and output coil with different numbers of turns (which cannot be seen). 1. What is the purpose of having different numbers of turns on the input and output coils? 2. What is the purpose of the block of iron sheets?

  3. Task 2 Step-up transformer Make sure the generator is switched off each time you connect or disconnect components. Use leads with sheathed plugs to connect to the output of the transformer unit.

  4. 3. How did the input voltage of the step-up transformer compare with the output voltage? 4. What does this tell you about the number of turns on the input and output coils?

  5. Task 3 Step-down transformer Make sure the generator is switched off each time you connect or disconnect components. Use leads with sheathed plugs to connect to the output of the transformer unit.

  6. 5. How did the input and output voltages compare? 6. What does this tell you about the number of turns on the input and output coils?

  7. Task 4 Using the transformers together Make sure the generator is switched off each time you connect or disconnect components. Use leads with sheathed plugs to connect the transformers to each other.

  8. 7. What happens to the voltage in using the step-up / step-down arrangement? 8. Why is this? 9. Why is it important that the generator gives an a.c. output? 10. What would happen if a d.c. output was used?

  9. Task 5 Measuring the frequency Make sure the generator is switched off each time you connect or disconnect the multimeter. 11. What happens to the frequency in using the step-up / step-down arrangement? 12. Why is this?
